You might remember me saying that I love corn on the cob. I never thought that I would like it any other way than with lots of butter, but I decided to give this version a try. I was at a cookout a few years ago and this was on the menu. I was surprised how much flavor the acidic lemon and salt heightened the corn flavor and I loved it! If you are looking for a low fat or dairy free side dish, this is what you need.

Recipe Tips:

• Another option is to use limes instead of lemons.
• I also love to grill corn. This adds a nice char flavor.

Make Ahead:

• I usually like to cook the corn and eat it right away. You can cook it ahead of time but the kernels will shrivel a little and not look as nice.

Storing tips:

• Store any leftover corn in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
